Hi Crystal - do you have an email or contact number you are prepared to leave? Or if you become a member, people could send you personal messages which might be useful. Or you could send personal messages to people yourself.

For a programme on UK traditional music - whether it be the current 'scene' or the history / development of it and the many different strands that form it - I would imagine there would be a wide audience - at least as big as the recent early Music series, but probably more. As to who would present it - I quite like the idea of Stephen Fry mentioned above. Another person who springs to mind is Tim Laycock - who, I know, has already been involved with many BBC radio programmes on both folk song and dance tunes. The Skeapings (Lucy & Roddie) are, of course, experts in the field too.

Without further information, it's difficult to know what direction you want to go in though.

Best of luck though - hope it is a go-er
